The 24-year old Kenner man killed in an early morning crash Saturday (Oct. 12) on West Esplanade Avenue in Kenner has been identified as Andre Isaacs. Isaacs recently moved to Kenner from Florida, and was working at the new Costco in New Orleans, according to a spokesman for the Kenner Police Department.

Isaacs was killed and his 20-year old passenger was seriously injured in the one-vehicle accident Saturday about 5:15 a.m., said Sgt. Brian McGregor of the Kenner Police Department.

Isaacs, driving a 2001 white Acura Integra, crashed outside the Rue Chardonnay Condominiums at 1500 West Esplanade Ave. He apparently lost control of the car, went airborne and crashed through a utility pole and a fence, McGregor said. He was killed immediately. Speed and driver impairment are suspected to be factors in the crash, McGregor said.

The passenger was taken to a local hospital with a broken left leg and bruising; her condition is stable.

As the result of the downed utility pole in the accident, some traffic signals in the area were inoperable for a time and some residents in the immediate area were without electricity, McGregor said. All services had been restored by 1 p.m., he said.

Anyone who saw the accident is asked to contact Kenner police traffic investigators Patrick Gallagher at 504.712.2257 or Jacob Tolpi at 504.712.2425.
